Is somebody out there successfully using Typesetter Independent
Troff with a Versatec under 4.1BSD (and actually, 4.2 if it creates
any new problems, since we're in transition here)??  We're trying
to run it on two VAX 11/750's.

We finally got a driver written that works ok with the Versatec,
but have discovered that the preprocessors on the tape AT&T sent us
are very buggy.  If anybody has de-bugged pic, ideal, tbl, and eqn,
and would be willing to share, please get in touch with me.  Any other
useful information about ti-troff also would be appreciated.

				Thanks,
